Word of Bomb Threat Prompts Plane to Land

ALBUQUERQUE — A Midway Airlines flight en route from Phoenix to Chicago with 110 people on board made an unscheduled landing here after a flight attendant reported a possible bomb threat, an airline spokeswoman said.

A female passenger was taken into custody in the Saturday incident on Flight 350 but had not been charged with violating any federal law. An FBI spokesman said the passenger had insinuated that the aircraft was in danger because baggage was not properly checked.
